London-based drinks brand BARHI has secured international recognition, taking a Top 3 position in the Pro Dry Session Mead category at the prestigious Mead Madness Cup 2026. The brand is now set to showcase its award-winning, world's first date-based mead to industry professionals at The Pub Show 2026.

Unlike traditional meads that are often sweet and still, BARHI offers operators a new dry, light, sparkling, and sessionable alternative that sits perfectly between beer and wine. Crafted from ethically sourced honey and fresh yellow Barhee dates, the mead is served at 6% ABV and is naturally gluten-free.  

"BARHI was crafted to introduce a new dimension to pub drink menus designed for today's evolving drinking audience," explains Founder and Director Vikas Thakker.

The award-winning BARHI Original delivers a crisp, dry profile highlighting honey and date richness. The range also includes BARHI Spiced, a bold variant infused with star anise and orange peels. Both variants offer a modern nutritional profile, featuring just 1.52g of carbs and 115 calories per 330ml, with over 90% fewer carbs than beer and cider.  

Pub operators interested in elevating their menus and exploring a drink that pairs exceptionally well with food can sample BARHI on tap and in bottles at The Pub Show.
